Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Dandenong Thunder in 9th and Hume City in 6th place.
- Dandenong Thunder have scored in all their home matches so far.
- Hume City have yet to win a game away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Dandenong Thunder form and stats
Dandenong Thunder have collected 5 points from their Npl Victoria home games so far after 1-2-1.
Dandenong's previous game was a Npl Victoria match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus St. Albans Saints (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Dandenong lost 0-1 at South Melbourne's place.
The Dandenong fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Dandenong have conceded 4 goals.
Hume City form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Npl Victoria for Hume City with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Hume have lost on their last two travels.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-1 against Port Melbourne in their previous game. Prior to that match, the Hume City manager N. Hegarty faced defeat when travelling to Eastern Lions and losing 0-2.
Goals are few and far between in Hume's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. The Hume manager N. Hegarty has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Dandenong, one draw and two wins for Hume City. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
